Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The presence of contaminants in both abiotic and biotic matrices increasingly necessitates the employment of sophisticated analytical techniques, facilitating a comprehensive analysis through the integration of environmental toxicology and the one health paradigm. In this regard, this Special Issue seeks to publish research in the field that uses innovative analytical tools to analyze contaminants. We invite research that examines how contaminants interconnect with human, animal and environmental health. The promotion of interdisciplinary collaboration is imperative to address toxic risks in a more holistic manner. Such collaboration is also essential for the estimation and assessment of both deterministic and probabilistic environmental and health risks of exposure to toxic agents through different routes using mathematical models. It is vital that regulatory aspects are considered to reduce the effects of the use of these chemical agents in everyday life.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
